ARL Lawyers Charitable Trust donates defibrillator to the Wainuiomata Volunteer Fire Brigade
(original article published by Megan Connolly on 10 July 2019)
"The new defibrillator was donated by the ARL Lawyers Charitable Trust and will be with the operational support vehicle in case of emergency call outs. Vehicles can be called out at any moment to any part of the valley so it's important to know that every area is covered, said Dave Wyles Jones of the Wainuiomata Volunteer Fire Brigade"
The defibrillator is a part of a full emergency first response kit being put together by the Brigade.
Through it's Charitable Trust, ARL Lawyers provide opportunities and tangible items to individuals, groups and organisations in the local Lower Hutt community.
